Kane Phone #: Work: 860-465-5175 E-mail: [email protected] Meeting Location: Hawley Armory Gym Meeting Time: Tuesday and Thursday 7:00 – 9:00 I. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Wa Shin Ryu Jujutsu is an integrated approach to the development of practical self defense/combative skills and inner power. It integrates diverse methods of fighting into a holistic, internally consistent system. The system focuses on the development of the total person by constantly emphasizing the integration of mind and body and the development of focused power (shuchu ryoku). The primary and immediate purpose of this beginner course is to provide students with practical self defense skills and develop a state of mind which permits their successful application in dangerous situations. Long term goals for those who choose to pursue the study of Wa Shin Ryu include mind-body harmony, empowerment, heightened levels of awareness and self actualization. Many health/wellness benefits are also associated with the study and practice of the art (as is the case with many martial arts). To reach the goals of Wa Shin Ryu we employ the principles of the Four-Fold Path: This path requires: i. Diligent and rigorous training in the art of Wa Shin Ryu ii. Regular meditation/introspection iii. Practice and application of the philosophy of Wa Shin Ryu (see System, Philosophy and Principles) file iv. Practice and application of the basic principles of Wa Shin Ryu (Principles of Movement, Power, Strategy and Execution). (See "System, Philosophy and Principles of Wa Shin Ryu Jujutsu" for an explanation of these terms) II.

  • JU-JITSU a BRIEF HISTORY and Its Connection To
    JU-JITSU A BRIEF HISTORY And its connection to Kobukai Ju-Jitsu Grappling as a form of self defense has existed for thousands of years. There are pictures of grappling fighting styles in Egyptian tombs dating from 2300 B.C. Beni Hasan Tomb - Egypt It is thought that Ju-Jitsu, as a formalized fighting methodology began in Japan around 880 A.D. A man named Teijun Fujiwara learned grappling and striking techniques from the Chinese and developed them to fit the battlefield needs of Japan. He taught these techniques to the warriors of the Minamoto clan. Yoshitoki Minamoto From these techniques developed two distinct methods of Ju-Jitsu. The first eventually came to be known as Aiki-Jujutsu. This type of Ju-Jitsu was for use by the military elite and members of the royal court, mainly while inside the castle or compound. The other method, called Jujutsu, Yawara, Kogusoku and other names was used by regular foot soldiers and was a rougher style. Both methods utilized the weapons of the day, along with unarmed techniques. By the 1400’s there were several styles of Jujutsu taught in Japan. The ones formed before the mid 19th century that survive today are referred to as Koryu, roughly meaning “ancient style.” Some of the original Koryu were Takenouchi-Ryu, Yoshin-Ryu, Araki-Ryu, Tatsumi-Ryu, and Sekiguchi-Ryu. By the early 1800’s there were over 700 ryu documented in Japan. Ju-Jitsu continues to develop, as it always has and new Ryu continue to be formed. Kobukai Ju-Jitsu has its roots in Japanese Jujutsu and Aiki Jujutsu.

However, the training in ancient Budo consisted only of kata practice, the practice of forms and pre-arranged movements that one masters through numerous repetitions.

  • Combat Styles
    Combat Styles Martial arts are the defining point for a Street Fighter. It’s what makes him who he is, and what differentiates him from other Street Fighters that he faces. Every martial arts style teaches different techniques, moves, and philosophies. These differences are outlined in this chapter. Choosing Martial Arts Styles First Belt Rank characters choose one martial arts style that they will be studying. New styles can be selected every five levels thereafter (i.e., 5th, 10th, and 15th Belt Ranks); however, doing so means that the character forgoes on any additional training in their old style and misses out on any benefits that the style may grant at more advanced levels. Each martial arts style is presented with a brief history, a summary on its philosophies and teachings, and a short description of the basic combat techniques that the form emphasizes. Many martial arts share similar histories, but the write-ups that are included here only describe the part of history that is pertinent to the style. Each entry for a martial arts style includes the following information that affects game play: Prerequisites Martial arts are often physically, or even mentally, demanding and require a certain level of physical prowess, strength, willpower, and/or endurance to master. These prerequisites must be met in order for a fighter to take this style. Special Move Max The Special Moves (See Chapter 8 for more information on Special Moves) that a fighter can take are limited by their martial arts style. Each style emphasizes different areas in training, so some techniques may be more limited than others.

THE DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MARTIAL ARTS EXPERIENCE IN NEW ZEALAND A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Social Science at Lincoln University by Diana Looser Lincoln University 2003 2 Abstract THE DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MARTIAL ARTS EXPERIENCE IN NEW ZEALAND This thesis examines the martial arts in New Zealand. It takes three approaches. The first is socio­ historical, with a particular focus on the history and development of martial arts practice in New Zealand. The second is socio-cultural and is concerned with the characteristics of the people . practising the various martial arts. The third is motivational and explores the reasons why people become involved in martial arts training and why they continue. The theories of risk and the risk society, and popular or mass consumer culture are used to help explain, and provide a social context for understanding, people's motivations. In addition, the black belt is examined in terms of its symbolic nature and its role in motivating people to begin, and continue with, their training.

  • A Brief History of Judo by Alex Mashadi
    A Brief History of Judo by Alex Mashadi Judo is a relatively new Japanese martial art developed in Japan in 1882 by Dr Kano Jigoro. Its aim is to either throw the opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue the opponent, or force an opponent to submit by a strangle hold or arm lock. Kano Jigoro was born in 1860 into an affluent Japanese family. His grandfather was a self-made man, a sake brewer from central Japan. However, Kano's father was not the eldest son and therefore did not inherit the business. Instead, he became a Shinto priest and government official, with enough influence for his son to enter Tokyo Imperial University. Kano was a small, frail boy, who was often picked on by bullies. At the age of 17, he first started jujutsu but with little success. This was in part due to his difficulties finding a teacher who would take him on as a student. When he went to university to study literature at the age of 18, he continued his martial arts studies, eventually gaining a referral to Fukuda Hachinosuke (c.1828– c.1880), a teacher who stressed the importance of technique over formal exercise, which led to Kano’s belief in the importance of free practice (randori). A little more than a year after Kano joined Fukuda's school, Fukuda became ill and died. Kano then became a student in a number of other schools, where varying degrees of emphasis was put on the practice of pre-arranged forms (kata) or free practice.
